As the crystal slowly turned before our wondering eyes, we saw the old school building in Andover, and consequently the next thing we saw was our old schoolmates. who had graduated in 1928. The first person we noticed in the crystal was our old friend, Mildred Bailey, now Mrs. Allen Britton. She was seated on the bank of a beautiful lake, known as Crystal Lake, named for its sparkling waters. This is where their summer home is located. We see Myron Dain, who is still living on Main street in his old home town in Pier- pont, where it seems he gets all his inspira- tions for the wonderful poems which he writes. Doris Phillips, the cut-up of our old class is now the Martha Lee in the Cleve- land News and her answers to the lovelorn have set many a heart at ease. Miss La Dell Mead is spending her time in Washington State, where she is employed in the Harry Gray Sawmill Co. as private secretary. Forrest Cobb and Oiva Arnio, partners and schoolmates, are now seen. They have made a great success in the electrical world and are at the present time in Australia wiring Uncle Bim's mansion, which he in- tends to leave to little Chester. Ah! The misty whiteness changes. Its Broadway of New York. A beautiful sign is hanging over a shop of two noted dancing teachers. On the sign in golden letters are the names Grace Myers and Duncan Mc- Combs. The front entrance is crowded with lesson seekers. The scene changes. A large group of people can be seen crowded before a huge aeroplane. On the outspread wings are the words Spirit of Cherry Valley. Nearby standing on a newly-erected platform is Richard King, who is astonishing all the world with his brilliant orations. All is white and still, the wind blows, snow falls fast. In Alaska near the Yukon river is a small school house, with Shirley Marvin as a missionary teacher for the un- fortunate children of the cold north. She appears to be receiving a check of 31.49 for the month's salary. Another vision comes into view, it is Mrs. Kermit Lewis, formerly Miss Loleta McCormick. She is in Poland with her hus- band where they are giving music lessons to the interested Polish children. They are talking this evening of coming back to Padanaram, Where they are going to give a grand opera next July. The scene changes and we see our old home town. There is Emerson Gibbs work-- ing in the Citizen office. He writes scandal, society and sport news for the Sunday edi- tion of the Andover Citizen. He is gaining world-wide fame for his work. Again the crystal turns and we now sec a picturesque little town in France. There in a fashionable French language school. We notice a familiar face, it -is Virginia Ballentine, who has been studying French and who now intends to come back to Amer- ica and teach in Sweet Briar College, lo-- cated at Leon, Ohio. Oh? What is that? Such a confusion. We can hardly tell who is who. Ah, I see. there is a sign explaining the cause of the noise. The sign reads: Stop! Look! Listen! Tonight at 8:00 p. m. Maloney Sz Martin will present to the people of this fair city a most astonishing, astounding, bewildering array of talent ever exhibited in this state. Feats of strength, skill and daring will be performed by Maloney. Dr. Martin will tell you how to get Well and look well by using his famous: GINGER JULEP FREE! FREE! FREE! FREE! Cheap at half the price Ah! There is Stella Uehlinger, the belle and the smallest of our class. She has estab- lished a tiny but much used beauty parlor at the summer resort by the Shenango river. The river does not look as it did, it has been made into a fashionable bathing beach. There is Thelma Brooks, smiling as usual. She began her career by being private secre- tary to the Emperor of Japan. But the crystal shows her now as a manicurist to his wife, Wangle Hong Lee. They are in a beautiful garden with cherry trees all around them. We now see a great wide space. It is a desert. The Sahara. There is a sheik in flowing white robes. He is entering his harem. Goodness! There is Frances Miner. She must be the sheik's favorite lady, for shc wears the privilege crown. The crystal is showing us its last pic- ture. It must be fame, for the globe is in brilliance. The polite girl with the black hair started out to be an ofiice girl. But in some manner gained her way in to politics, and we believe she is going to be the first woman president in the United States. We recognize her as Ruth Cleland. As we leave, we thank the crystal for showing us so plainly the lives of our old school friends, and we are pleased that they have all been successful in their various walks of life. Amen. -Stella Uehlinger. Frances Miner. Q -0-0-0-Q-Q-O-O-9-0-0-0-0-Q Q PAGE 4

04-Q-Q Q Q+o44+o+ 944444444-++o+4QOQ to-0444400 00 Q SENIOR NEWS The graduating class this year is small, only composed of nineteen members. But this does not mean that they are little and not big, for remember Napoleon who was very small of stature was one of the most powerful monarchs of all time. ' This year the members have taken a keener interest in athletics, perhaps due to the fact that Mr. Hicks, the home room teacher, is the boys' athletic coach. Three of the girls. LaDell Mead, Frances Miner and Mildred Bailey, were members of the varsity Basket- ball team, while Milton Martin, Forrest Cobb and Emerson Gibbs were right hand men on the boys' varsiety Basketball team. The girls' class team played in the final inter-class game. losing the pennant to the Eighth Graders. In the mid-season, Volleyball was enjoyed by the pupils remaining at school at noon. The Baseball teams also were composed of both boys and several girls from this group. Four members of the graduates are faith- ful players in the band and orchestra, name- lyg Loleta McCormick, accompanist of the or- chestra, also a cello playerg Shirley Marvin, mellophoneg Emerson Gibbs, saxophoneg Mil- ton Martin, cornet. The Harmony Se1'e- naders have furnished several interesting musical programs in chapel throughout the year. Emerson Gibbs and Ruth Cleland were members of the debate team, while Doris Phillips and Shirley Marvin were participants in the declamation contest. Richard King rep- resented Andover in the County Oratorical Contest at Orwell this term. Prof. Martin thinks that the Senior girls must be securing enough finery to get mar- ried instead of graduating from the number of excuses he has written for the last two months for shopping expeditions. Loleta McCormick is given honorable men- tion for having a perfect record for attend- ance and no tardiness during her four years of High School. Frances Miner was chosen the most popu- lar girl in the school at the school carnival in March. Shirley Marvin has secu1'ed much experi- ence as a sub teacher in the grades this year. Mildred Bailey has filled the position of oflice girl this year, a position quite educa- tional. Although there are several in the class who have been on the honor roll at various times during the course, the ones who survive as honor students are Ruth Cleland, Shir- ley Marvin and Mildred Bailey. On May 18 the class gave its play, Mrs, Jims' Romance, to a large appreciative audi- ence. Much credit and praise is given to Mr. Hass and the cast of characters for the splendid performance which they rendered. All of the class participated in this either in the cast or as entertainment between acts. SOCIETY On the first Friday night of November, 1927, the High School gave the Freshmen and the newcomers their first taste of society in A. H. S. The evening began with stunts and games on the lawn, then the much puzzled and frightened Freshmen were invited by the Seniors into the audito1'ium. They were as- sembled on the stage before King Richard. who sentenced the culprits to pay for their childhood pranks. Later the subdued were served refreshments, and all departed, tired. yet happy. The next event in the social life of the Seniors was a Hallowe'en party held at the home of Myron Dain in Pierpont. Everyone reported a good time. At the beginning of Basketball season a g1'oup from Andover High attended the an- nual athletic banquet held in Rock Creek. On February 13 the Seniors and friends. mostly from the Junior Class, journeyed to Warren and had dinner at the Park Hotel and American Restaurant. Later they attended Robbins Theater. Those who went with Ker- mit Lewis were furnished with entertaining army stories. Wednesday evening, March 7, 1928, the teachers of the entire school gave a St. Pat- rick's party in honor of the boys' and girls' Basketball teams and their coaches. The group was divided into two parts, The Mul- ligans and Cas.sidies. Contests were car- ried out between the two groups as entertain- ment. At a late hour all assembled in the lunch room where refreshments were served. Superintendent Martin gave a fitting talk and presented letters to those who had been faith- ful to the teams. Upon departing all wished next year's Basketball teams a successful year. On Friday evening, May 11, the Seniors and High School Faculty were entertained at Shirley Marvin's. The fore part of the eve- ning was spent in playing progressive Bingo Then games and music amused the guests for awhile. A two-course luncheon was served by the hostess. The guests de- parted at a late hour, proclaiming it to be one of the most enjoyable of the Senior parties. The Senior Class and the upstairs fac- ulty of A. H. S. were entertained by the Juniors at a party held in Crystal Lake Club House, Saturday evening, May 19, 1928. Dancing, Cards and games were the main features of the evening. Everyone spent an enjoyable time. The Girls' Glee Club held a dance at Crystal Lake. The Linesville orchestra fur- nished the music for the event. --Stellar U elzlinger.
